> making a big fuss about them in Zig - to the point of maintaining a compiler fork

Literal quote (and again, appeared in the original article as well). Forking the compiler to try to get faster compile times is a significant effort that absolutely counts as raising a fuss.

The word “fuss” doesn’t occur in the original Bun article.

I also don’t think that forking the compiler is a big fuss. Large companies do that all the time, to carry whatever patches they haven’t upstreamed yet (or can’t). It’s really not that big of a deal.
